This young collector has spent the majority of his life collecting Comic Relief red noses and is now the owner of over 82 different noses. 

However, Cruz Tucker’s collection doesn’t stop there, determined to own as many as he can, he also boasts over 200 spare noses and Comic Relief related memorabilia. 

The 13-year-old started his collection back in 2015, meaning he would’ve been a toddler when the niche collection first took his interest.

Mum Sarah, 38, from Welling, Kent, UK, says her son is getting incredibly close to owning every single nose design. 

She said: “There are only two rare noses he hasn’t got and is desperate to finish collection just hope they come up for sale one day! 

“I don’t think Cruz will ever stop collecting, he has an eye for retro things and can see potential and profit in things, although I don’t think he would ever sell them.”

Starting his collection since he was just a tot, Cruz has quickly gone from taking part in the annual Comic Relief fun of buying a nose, to building a whole army of them. 

Each year it became a mission for the family to hunt down all the new designs they could whilst Cruz carried on the hunt online for older editions of the memorabilia. 

With Red Nose Day originally starting in the 1980s, Cruz has managed to get his hands of several designs that came out decades before he was born.

The family do everything they can to support their son’s collection as well as the charity, and despite the noses beginning to fill up space in the house, Sarah doesn’t seem to mind helping her son find even more! 

Each year, Cruz told how he got a little bit of joy knowing that there were new noses to find, and each shopping trip meant adding to his ever-growing collection. 

The youngster says he won’t stop collecting and plans to find the last two rare pieces for his collection, a mission he’s been on since their release in 2015 and 2019.
